Our Verdict

Quite a few requirements for the bonus, but worth it if you live near a branch. Upside is that at least you don’t need to worry about any monthly fees. Free gifts aren’t anything special, but you should be able to find something at least somewhat useful. We will be adding this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.

Great bonus! I opened an account in branch despite like 16 Chex inquiries in the last 6 months. Soft pull. Opening was quick and easy, debit card instantly issued (I think a lot of local MA banks do the same thing as they all instantly issue cards with no raised digits).

Opened in branch a week or so ago. The guy was very friendly but went so slow. It took about half an hour to enter all my data, which I probably could have done in 5 minutes myself. Debit card issued on the spot (screen printed, not embossed). Funded with cash. Free gift options were tupperware set or car multitool.
